Abstract:
Applications of 25 kg ZnSO₄/ha, 10 kg borax/ha and micronutrients mixture resulted in enhancement of seed quality characteristics viz. Germination (%), shoot and root length (cm), shoot and root dry weight(mg), seedling vigour index and 100 seed weight. The highest 100 seed weight 25.65 gm was observed with application of micronutrients mixture followed by the application of Mo @ 5 g/kg seed (25.44 g). Moderate effects were observed with application of borax @ 10 kg/ha in respect of these traits. In general, applications of Zn, B and Mo in combinations were found effective in enhancing seed quality in this crop.

An investigation was undertaken during kharif 2017-18 in the Department of Agricultural Botany, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth Parbhani to find out the response of micronutrients application on plant growth and seed yield attributes in green gram cv.BM-2003-2. Five different micronutrients viz. zinc, boron, molybdenum, manganese and cobalt were applied in different concentrations, singly and in combination consisting of ten treatments viz., soil application of Zn (10 & 25 kg/ha zinc sulphate, zinc chelate @ 500 g/ha) and B (5 & 10 kg borax/ha), seed treatment of Mo (Ammonium molybdate @ 5 g/kg) and Co (Cobalt nitrate @ 1 g/kg), foliar spray of Mn (Manganese dioxide @ 0.5%), mixture of all micronutrients and a control were found effective in enhancing yield in this crop.
